Microsoft does not deny, however, Windows 7 and 8 – Antyradio.pl

Initially, the company announced even that support for older systems on computers with Intel code-named Skylake will end in July 2017 years.

this meant that recently purchased by the company machine, if you would not be equipped with Windows 10, not receive security updates or technical support from Microsoft, if you have appeared in trouble with the operation of your operating system.

no support is not synonymous with the fact that the system would cease to operate – simply with potential problems with Windows companies would have to cope on their own. For more we wrote about it in the message.

This decision was a very high pressure on companies that can not afford the risk of a longer downtime – it would generate huge losses. Microsoft hoped that business customers choose therefore about switching to Windows 10.

Companies usually try to delay the migration to new operating systems – for these changes is the risk that the used the software may have problems with the operation, and it can be as expensive as the total failure of computer.

the creators of Windows quite quickly figured out that a little exaggerated, and announced the extension of the condensed early support a year – to July 2018.

but it seems that scaring the end of support for the Windows 7 and Windows 8.1 It could only be a tool to persuade as soon as possible to migrate to Windows 10. Since the end of the promotion allowing free upgrade older systems to “tens” – this can be done officially to July 29, 2016, although it is possible and now, if you know the ways and sposobiki – passed two weeks, and Microsoft issued a statement that, however, no shortening of the period of support will not.

this means that even on computers with new processors patches and updates for Windows 7 will be posted to the January 2020 year and Windows 8 users will be protected to the January 2023 year.

7. generation Intel processors and AMD will not fully supported only by Windows 10 – and the system need to be installed on new computers, to get the drivers to the latest features and security fixes.

A you whose Windows you use?
